Where it appears

Matthew · 1

  1. Matthew 26:73 δῆλόν away

    After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter. “Surely you are one of them,” they said, “for your accent gives you away.”

1 Corinthians · 1

  1. 1 Corinthians 15:27 δῆλον [it is] evident

    For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.

    Here: "[It is] clear", the voice of someone interpreting a text. It marks an implication that anyone reading carefully must grant.

Galatians · 1

  1. Galatians 3:11 δῆλον, [is] evident,

    Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”

    Here: '[It is] clear', with the verb 'is' left unstated. Paul treats the point as plain once Scripture has spoken. Greek often pairs δῆλον with a following ὅτι ('it is clear that'), and this is central to the debate over how the sentence divides.
